State suit related to 'Big Dig' accident in Boston includes Powers Fasteners

摘要

A lawsuit has been filed against 15 companies reported to be involved in the design and construction of the ceiling of the Big Dig Interstate 90 connector tunnel that had a partial collapse last July 10, killing a driver. The suit, filed by Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly, states that the joint venture in charge of the entire Big Dig tunnel system, Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff, was "grossly negligent," while the other companies, including builders, designers, consultants and insurance companies, were simply negligent.
